- Motivated to learn

If this sounds like you, we have the perfect opportunity for you

**What will you be doing...**

As an Operations Support Apprentice, you will be embarking on a brilliant career path, where you can trial various different parts of the business and work with your strengths. Daily duties could include but not limited to:

- understanding plant operations and processes
- checking quality of materials coming into and leaving site
- working alongside health and safety and compliance
- driving plant vehicles around site
- general housekeeping duties

Working in glass recycling can be a surprisingly dynamic job, physically demanding at times but ultimately a very rewarding job. It's a hands-on role that requires focus and stamina, a high level of skill, knowledge, and a strong adherence to safety protocols. It involves operating complex equipment and gaining licences in plant vehicles, as well as maintenance and preventative tasks. While the environment can be noisy and occasionally smelly, there's a real sense of contributing to a sustainable future knowing you're diverting valuable resources from landfills and helping to create a cleaner planet.

**Experience**...
- An interest in the recycling and sustainability sectors
- Strong communication skills and the ability to perform well in a team environment
- The willingness and dedication to complete an Apprenticeship

A full UK driving licence as well as Grade 4 or C and above in GCSE Maths and English
